About me
David Quang Pham is a composer-playwright in Washington Heights. As a child of Vietnamese immigrants, he is drawn to stories about where life can go if you let curiosity take you. Space camp, operas, and cartoons shaped his whimsical yet thought-provoking sensibility. He earned an astrophysics degree and theatre minor at Michigan State and studied playwriting as a Working Title Playwrights apprentice in Atlanta and Playwrights Foundation fellow in San Francisco. His musicals personifying astrophysics, quantum mechanics, and botany are Ellipses, Tour, and Turnover: A New Leaf. Turnover was nominated for Best Musical and won Best Book and Director (Aliyah Curry) in Philly's New Musicals Festival. Queer Theatre Kalamazoo is producing Turnover at Jolliffe Theatre in May 2025. His musicals have been produced in Atlanta, Colorado; NYC, Philadelphia, and Portugal. When not writing songs full of science puns, he plays trombone.
